The relationship between socio-economic inequity indicators and 4CMenB vaccination rates in infants and adolescents in Spain: An ecological correlation study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is associated with a high mortality rate and can cause severe long-term sequelae. In Spain, the majority of IMD cases are caused by serogroup B. The four-component meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (4CMenB) is included in the Spanish infant National Immunisation Plan (NIP); however, vaccination of other age groups is not yet publicly funded. This analysis aimed to estimate infant and adolescent 4CMenB vaccination rates across Spanish autonomous regions and municipalities and their correlation with income, higher education and unemployment from 2019 to 2022, prior to inclusion of 4CMenB within the Spanish NIP. Correlation between vaccination rates and income per capita, higher education and employment status was assessed across municipalities using Spearman's coefficient. In 2022, infant 4CMenB vaccination rates across autonomous regions were highest in Cantabria (61.87%), across municipalities this was Ciudad Real (72.40%), and were lowest in Melilla (12.20%) across both. Adolescent 4CMenB vaccination rates were highest in Galicia (5.14%) across autonomous regions, and Lugo (6.05%) across municipalities, and lowest in Cantabria (0.09%) across both. A significant and positive correlation was observed between infant 4CMenB vaccination rates and income per capita (
